Toalla/1.710 m it may concern Beit known that l, FRANRX; BLIWAU,asubject oit the Iingot .GreatBritaim residing'l at Boutin` in theProvince of Sass katchewan and Dominion of Canada,` have inventedcertain new` and uselul. Improve ment-s inY a Whip Holder; and l dohereby declare thei'ollowing' to be aV tull,.clear, and

exact description .of the invention, suoli as -f will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usevthefsame.

The object or" the invention ris' toA provide atumbling whip holder ofa. construction adapting-thc whip to-be used. in the driving and controlot draft` animals `without removingjthe whip from the holder andtherefore y without involving inconvenience of having to placethe whipinl the socket after its usel and under frequently inconvenientconditions as when the hands are' required for other purposes; and moreparticularly itis the object to provide a device. of thisttype for usein connection kwith binders, harvesters and other agricultural machinerywhich require the operator to manipulate a number oi levers and otherdevices and usually afford the operator but little opportunity 'for theuse ot a whip if it must be removed from a. whip socket for thatpurpose; and

with these objects in view the invention consists in a construction,combination and arrangement ot parts ot' which a preferred embodiment isshown in the drawing, wherein:l l

Figure 1 is a side view of a whip holder embodying the invention.,

Figure 2 is a front view of the same,

Figure 3 is a. plan view thereof,

Figure 4; is a longitudinal vertical sectional view;

Figure 5 base. y

The device consists essentially of a base.

is an inverted plan view of the 1() having uprights 11 between which ispivf otally mounted a tiltable whip socket 12, said base beingrpivotally mounted as by means ot a bolt 13 upon a bracket 14:attachableby any suitable means to the vehicle or maf chine inconnection with which the whip holder is to be used, as for examplemeans o-lf the ears 15 and 16,` said bracket having a horizontalsupporting plate 17 upon which the base is tree to swinglaterally,limited by the extent of a transverse arcuate slot or groove 1S engagingan upstandingY stud 19, on .the supper tingplate.r I

Thel supporting plate'is preferably provided with a. sleeve upon whichthe base is directly mounted` andthrough this sleeve and the base,extends the bolt 13 fitted with" a suitable. retaining nut 2l.

The socket 12 is vprovided witha rearwar'dly extending ygrip 22h'avingatrans versely projecting piny23,ot` whichI the eX'- tremities areconnected by Asprings 21 with studs projecting laterally rom'thebrackets 26 which extend forwardly from `the standardssaid grip 22 beingarranged vbe-v low thenplane of rthepivotalpoint oraxis 27 of. thesocket so that the springs yieldingly hold'ithe lsocket. in .an uprightor normal position 4limited 'by a stop 28v which Vspans theintervalbetween the standards l.near-their lower ends. An arcuate stop29 is also sup ported vbetween thel brackets 26'to` limit the vforwardswinging movement ot' the socket.

Thisstop 2.9' is not locatedy in the, path ofmovement'l of the upperend. of the socket bntlis in the path of movement of a whip stockyseatedA in the socket and serves to prevent `the socket from beingtilted far enoughv forward to bring theline of strain of the returnsprings 24 above the plane of the pivot or axis 27. Therefore when thesock- .et is released by the operator the ,springs returnv the same tothe normaler upright positions. Also in the absence of a whip in saidsocket, the latter upon being tilted lVit-h ythe apparatus described itis pos-v sible for the operator to reach toward the whip, withoutlooking at vit and throw the socket forward tofbring the whip into0peration and swing lit either to the right or left to suit the animalto which he desires d to apply the lash, and may then'immediatelyrelease the same with the assurance that it will. .be returned to thenormal position and that the whip will not be displaced in i thatoperation. Also the grip 22 may be engaged from below by one toot oftheoperator and raised to operate thevsocket 12.

The use ot ythe device obviates entire-ly the necessity of removing theywhip from the socket as it may be used with practically the samefreedoinby permitting it to remain in a horizontal. plane, and a vielding means,

1to1' maintaining the socket in a subst-amtiall)Y upright lilositon, incombination with a supporting Y attachment to a vehicle and having asupporting plate upon Whichthe base .mounted for horizontal swinging;movement, the eaid lateral n'ioveme t being' limited by a slot in thebese engaging' a stud on Said supporting' plate.

in a whip holder, a. movable socket to receive the whip. a stop disposedont ont' the path olf movement ot the :'-Jocliet to facilitate emptyingof the lat-tei', and said stop being in the path or niovementot' andengageable by a Whip carried by the socket.

3. In a -whip holden. a movable socket to receive the whip, ai gripengageable to move the socket, said grip being located relatively closeto and above the base of the socket to facilitate foot-operationtheieof.

et. In a Whip holder, a movable Socket. to

bracket provided with .means foi receive the whip, a standard in whichsaid socket is pivoted, a. stop on said standard disposed out of thepath of movement of the Socket to facilitate emptying of the latter, andsaid Ctop being' in the path oit movement oit and engagcable by a Whipcai'i'iewfl by the socket.

in a. Whip holder, a movable Socket to receive the Whip, a base,standard iieing from said base, means pivoting Said socketto saidstandard,v a lbracket on Said etaifidad, a stop on said bracket disposedont. ot the path. olf movement ot the Socket to facilitate emptying ofthe latter. said stop beiiig in the path of movementot' and engagea-bleby awill p carried by the socket, a spring connected to the Socketand tosaid bracket to urge the toi-mei' to normal position, and a atop on thebase engageable by the socket in normal. position.

ln a whip holder, an attaching bracket, a. base pivoted on Said bracket,an arcuate .alot and pin connection bet-Ween the bracket and base topermit lateral movement of the base, and a. Whip holder mounted on Saidbase to Swing from a substantially horizontal axis.
